Depth Estimation is the task of predicting the depth of each pixel in an image. This project uses one of the popular models, dpt-beit-large-512 for depth estimation from the Hugging Face model hub. The used model can be run on CPUs.

The project is structured as follows:

• app.py: The main file that contains the Gradio application for depth estimation.
• depth_estimation.py: The file that contains the depth estimation model and functions.
• requirements.txt: The file that contains the required dependencies for the project.
• LICENSE: The license file for the project.
• README.md: The README file that contains information about the project.
• assets: The folder that contains the screenshots for working on the application.
• images: The folder that contains the images for testing the application.

• Python (for the programming language)
• Hugging Face Transformers Library (for the visual question-answering model)
• Gradio (for the web application)
• Hugging Face Spaces (for hosting the gradio application)

To get started with this project, follow the steps below:

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/sitamgithub-MSIT/DepthLens.git
2. Create a virtual environment: python -m venv tutorial-env
3. Activate the virtual environment: tutorial-env\Scripts\activate
4. Install the required dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
5. Run the Gradio application: python app.py

Now, open up your local host and you should see the web application running. For more information, refer to the Gradio documentation here. Also, a live version of the application can be found here.

The web application allows you to input an image, and the model will generate a depth map of the image. This can be useful in various applications such as autonomous driving, 3D modeling, augmented reality, and more. The depth estimation model provides a detailed understanding of the spatial structure of the scene in the image, enhancing the capabilities of computer vision systems.
